EDITOR’S NOTE

IT IS GOOD TO BE,

KING!

I’m sure that’s what StreetSide Developments is saying these days, as they climb to the top spot in townhome sales in 2021. According to the Zonda Urban Sales by Developer Report, Qualico Communities’ award-winning, multi-family arm topped the charts as Calgary’s bestselling townhome builder last year. Find out why StreetSide has become a townhome darling in our cover story inside.

It’s not just StreetSide that’s doing well. The spike in new home sales continues this year across the board, and our feature on infill developments reveals that the same is true in the more established neighbourhoods closer to the downtown. See if the inner-city lifestyle is right for you in our feature inside.

We also get an inside look at the rise of the Net Zero homes in our green homes feature. We find out how Avalon Master Builder is going about this for townhomes, and what efforts Excel Homes has given their single-family home buyers in the battle to keep utility costs down and save the environment.

Our story on the growth of Chestermere will open eyes on the lifestyle potential of this lake town, a community where one can still enjoy lakeside living without having to pay lake fees. The number of new communities blossoming here, and the wide variety of recreational opportunities offered, makes Chestermere a popular choice for new home buyers.

Don’t forget to check us out next month when we reveal this year’s finalists for the BILD Calgary Region Awards. See you all then.

COVER STORY

Evanston Park

STREETSIDE CLIMBS TO THE TOP! StreetSide Developments is Number One for 2021. Qualico Communities’ award-winning, multi-family development arm topped the charts as Calgary’s best-selling townhome builder last year.

According to the Zonda Urban Sales by Developer Report (Q4-2021), StreetSide sold 265 homes in 2021, including 206 townhomes. This equates to a total market share of 11 percent in townhomes for StreetSide, the report says.

“We are very proud and excited about this achievement!” says StreetSide Developments VicePresident, Richard Daley. This is the first time StreetSide has taken the top spot and Daley says it’s testament to the strong teamwork.

“I want to thank our team who worked extremely hard last year in order for StreetSide to be ranked number one. I would also like

8

New Home + Condo Guide | March 4–April 1, 2022

to thank Calgary and our new homeowners for trusting StreetSide and giving us the privilege of constructing their dream home.”

StreetSide Marketing and Digital Sales Manager, Max Conrad, tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide their varied line of townhome plans was key in their success, giving many homebuyers plenty of opportunities to find one that fits their budget and their dreams.

“We have a wide variety of projects that appeal to many targets from firsttime homebuyers looking to get out of the rental market to empty nesters looking for a maintenance free home to downsize to,” he says.

“In addition, our ability to adapt to the buyer’s changing needs quickly has served us well in this hectic market. Buyers have also been receptive to our StreetSide Certified program, launched in the spring of

2021, which gives our homeowners’ peace of mind and provides services to meet homebuyers’ needs.”

Topping their best-seller list is their Evanston Park townhomes in the northwest, as the entire 61-unit development sold out last November.

Belwood Park in the southwest has also performed well in sales. “These three-storey townhomes have similar layouts to Evanston Park and buyers are seeing the value in our open concept designs and attached garages,” Conrad says.

Outside of Calgary, StreetSide’s Executive Townhome collection, Harmony Park, that launched sales last summer is also a hit. “Harmony Park offers an enticing price-point to live in the award-winning community of Harmony in Rocky View County for those who want to live in one of Calgary’s most popular lake communities,” Conrad adds.

Creekstone Towns Harmony Park

But StreetSide is not sitting on their laurels, as 2022 is opening even more opportunities for new homeowners to get into a StreetSide home.

“This year is very exciting for us as we have showhome openings coming up this fall in two exciting projects.

Red Embers Point will launch three showhomes in the community of Redstone in the northeast,” Conrad says. Red Embers Point consists of 3to 4-bedroom townhomes from the $300,000s with a variety of floorplan options.

“In addition, we will also open a new showhome in Creekstone Towns located in the scenic community of Hudson in Creekstone in the southwest. Creekstone Towns offers farmhouse inspired, fee-simple townhomes with 2– to 4-bedroom options, double car detached garages and backyards.”

“Our final phase in Evanston Park will feature 3 new floorplans and is slated to open for pre-sales this year.

This phase will complete the circle of four phases that wrap around a central municipal park in Evanston.

From the popular “Salt Box” exteriors to the special Alberta landscaping themes characteristic of each phase, buyers are eagerly awaiting the launch, says Conrad.

CHESTERMERE: PLACID LAKE, VIBRANT CITY

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

For the longest time, Chestermere was thought of merely as Calgary’s lakeside playground, but it has since grown up to be its own city with a unique personality and lifestyle that isn’t just about water fun.

If you haven’t been to this lakeside city just east of Calgary in the past few years, you will certainly be in for a surprise. Growth is evident everywhere, from the rising number of new residential neighbourhoods to the bustling commercial centres in town and just on its outskirts.

Its call to fame remains Chestermere Lake, as the 750-acre lake and the four-season recreational fun it offers remains a big draw. But it is so much more than that today. More people are finding Chestermere an appealing community to set roots in with at least four new developments offering a varied range of housing options.

According to a city census, Chestermere has been growing steadily at 34 percent since 2011 and has a population today of 20,732. That’s just going to go higher as the young communities of Chelsea, and Dawson’s Landing continue to progress, and the new developments of South Shore and Waterford commence.

Jenny Cawthorn, junior marketing manager at Anthem United, the developers of Chelsea, says despite its growth, Chestermere still has that small town vibe.

“Living in Chestermere is like living in a large community.

People are friendly, the city is clean and there are multiple activations that happen throughout the year including Canada Day Celebration and Water Festival in the Summer and the Pond Hockey Tournament in the Winter,” she says.

Adam Oruclar of General Development Services of the new South Shore community says Chestermere has dozens of unique year-round festivals for the family.

“From the annual Music Festival, Bulls at the Beach, Annual Country Fair, and so many more. Chestermere also has its own waterfront dog park. What a great way to get outdoors and have fun with your pet!”

And there is still more to love in this young city just 10 minutes east of Calgary.

RECREATIONAL HAVEN

There is of course the Lakeside Golf Club in town, a semiprivate beautifully manicured 18-hole Championship Golf Course. The Calgary Yacht Club is on the shores of Chestermere Lake, and Anniversary Park is the lakeside park where many of the young city’s social and cultural life happens. Chestermere Landing is the city’s first commercial centre where the iconic Dockside Bar

Chelsea

and Grill is located, and it has opened its marina for recreational activities in the summer and winter.

Visitors to the young city are encouraged to make a stop at Crazy Pasta at 320 Westcreek Dr. to shop for authentic, fresh-made pasta, bread, and an assortment of imported Italian foods. They also have a small kitchen that offers ear-in and take-out Italian food “all made from scratch,” it says.

The massive East Hills shopping centre is right on the border between Calgary and Chestermere, and its cinemas, big box stores and boutique diners have provided a ton of convenience to residents along the 17th Avenue SE - Chestermere Blvd. corridor.

But what attracts people to Chestermere today isn’t solely its resort town charm, but its total family-oriented, ease-of-living package. Not to mention the wide range of housing options available in its vibrant, new communities.

drive homes and townhomes. New showhomes will be opening later this Spring.

“Currently, the community is home to a landscaped field and later in the summer will have a tot lot and an interactive pathway called ‘Pioneer Trail’ that will include information about the family that used to own a dairy farm on the Chelsea lands, and other pioneer settlers that once called Chestermere home,” she adds. For more information, visit chelseachestermere.com.

CHELSEA

Chelsea is on its Phase 4, with 200 families already calling this Anthem United development home. “Anthem United has worked hard to educate Calgarians on the benefits of moving to Chestermere and the best parts about Chelsea being the future amenities available inside and around the community, lots are larger, and you can live close to a lake without paying lake fees,” Cawthorn says.

Chelsea has Trico Homes selling laned and front drive homes, Sterling Homes selling laned homes, Truman has duplex and laned homes and Luxuria Homes selling front

DAWSON’S LANDING

“Dawson’s Landing is a great community with so many existing and future amenities,” says Emily Smith, marketing manager for Qualico Communities, Dawson’s Landing’s developer. “Existing restaurants, grocery, daycares and professional offices are within a few minutes’ drive. There are a number of established schools within Chestermere, and two school sites planned for the community.”

It’s no wonder Dawson’s Landing has been as successful as it was, and growth continues as Phase 3 was just released. “This phase will see a brand new showhome parade in Fall 2022,” Smith says.

Over 350 homes have been sold in the community with just under 150 occupants currently living in the community, she says.

Dawson’s Landing, which launched in 2020, was the first to offer laned homes in the city of Chestermere and was a crucial ingredient for its success. “Since then, the Stormwater Kidney™ Pond has opened as an amazing amenity for the community and the City of Chestermere.

Other amenities in the community are the two future school sites, parks, playgrounds, future eco park, and the proximity of the community to everything the City of Chestermere has to offer” For more information, visit liveindawsonslanding.ca.

Dawson’s Landing

SOUTH SHORE

South Shore at Chestermere is one of the newest residential developments in the city and the last opportunity to own a lakeside home. It just broke ground last summer and construction is well underway for five new showhomes, Oruclar says. “We have a scheduled community and showhome grand opening on Saturday, June 4, 2022.”

Developed by GDS on behalf of Edgewater Communities Inc, South Shores is adjacent to the last developable shores of Chestermere Lake. It is comprised of 77.5 gross acres interlaces with pathways, playgrounds and adjacent shoreline.

It brings together brings together a premium and award-winning group of builders: Crystal Creek Homes, Prominent Homes, Madison Avenue Group, Green Cedar Homes, and Avalon Master Builder. This dedicated line-up

South Shore 14

Dawson’s Landing

of homebuilding partners offers a wide selection of home styles including single-family, duplexes, townhomes and even rentals.

“The proximity to the lake is really the primary draw for people to South Shore. New homeowners in South Shore can connect in the community via extensive pathways that lead to a further network through the small city and around Chestermere Lake, with lots of amenities within walking distance. Two new playgrounds are planned,” Oruclar says.

2022 FOOTHILLS HOSPITAL HOME LOTTERY GRAND PRIZE HOME

WHAT’S HAPPENING Calbridge Homes seems to always find a way to top its grand prize showhomes and the 2022 Foothills Hospital Home Lottery continues the tradition of excellence. This year’s $2.7 million grand prize home in the four-season lake community of Mahogany in the southeast once again brings the homebuilder’s vaunted design prowess to the fore with its stunning take on modern lakefront living.

DID YOU KNOW?

Chestermere’s 750-acre lake began in 1907 as part of an irrigation system to help early settlers in the area.

Big spring ahead for Cedarglen Homes

Cedarglen Homes is gearing for a huge spring as the renowned homebuilder is set to launch showhomes in two new communities: Aspen Spring Estates in the southwest and Glacier Ridge in the northwest.

“We have officially launched sales for the new community of Aspen

Spring Estates,” says Allison Harvie, Sales & Marketing Manager at Cedarglen Homes. “This community was just launched this February and there are a limited number of lots available (56 total).”

Cedarglen will open the Glenbow 26 showhome here this spring and offer homes starting from the $800,000s. Aspen Spring Estates is being developed by Slokker Homes in Calgary’s established southwest quadrant near Aspen Woods and Springbank Hill.

In Glacier Ridge, Cedarglen have started pre-sales for their frontattached homes and will have a new line-up of paired homes soon.

Opening this spring are the front-

attached showhomes Elbow SSY 24, and the Lacombe 3ST SSY 24, one of Cedarglen’s popular three-storey homes. Although sales of their paired homes here have not been released yet, construction for their Columbia 17 and Clyde 17 paired showhomes have begun.

Glacier Ridge is a brand-new community in northwest Calgary by developer Anthem United. Perfectly situated on the northern edge of the city near Nolan Hill and Sage Hill, Glacier Ridge will feature 832-acres of space with an anticipated 4,000 homes at its completion.

Find out more about these upcoming showhomes and communities at cedarglenhomes.com.

Homes by Dream opens new showhome in Alpine Park Alpine Park in the southwest continues to flourish and the opening a new showhome from Homes

by Dream underscores the young community’s family-oriented appeal.

The Engler showhome is planned to open February 26th and it will be the first park-oriented show home in Alpine Park, says Anu Henke, Marketing Specialist, Alberta Development, Dream Development.

“It is very unique. The Engler is a 2,400 square-foot home that features a wrap-around porch and ample windows, two-storey living room and a floating staircase. It includes a rear-attached double card garage and three bedrooms,” she adds.

The Engler showhome is one of the corner property court homes that makes the most use of the premium lot. “It fronts the Hearth

Green Court Park on two sides and really makes an unmatched statement in its exterior and interior design,” she adds.

Homes by Dream is the homebuilding arm of Dream, the developer of Alpine Park. The

community collects numerous neverbefore-seen home designs from its founding builder partner group that includes, Calbridge Homes, Cardel Homes, Genesis Builders, and Homes

IDEAS 2022 The new year is all about decorating with personality, and designer Bilha Kangethe breaks down what we can expect

T

he year 2021 was certainly an interesting one in interior design. I saw a focus on balance and functionality, as we spent more time in our homes. In 2022, things are going to change. Off the heels of Milan Design Week, exhibitions showcased refined spaces that were skillfully combined with bold colours and geometric forms. In effect, we anticipate 2022 trends to dial into personality and expect to see inspiring spaces that honor the fullness of living, telling a story of sustainability and nostalgia, mixed with an artful blend of colour choices and positivity about the future. Here are my top four trends for the new year.

2 SCULPTURAL SILHOUETTES This influence began in 2020 and is not slowing. Furniture with curvy rounded silhouettes, slender frames and chunky profiles will continue to be popular through this year.

MATERIAL MANIA Natural materials, organic textures, and a blend of rich wood, marble, glass and metal combinations are taking centre stage in furniture and decor collections. Rattan and wicker trends continue to thrive, giving a more relaxed and airy feel in our interiors.

POST MODERN DESIGN Reminiscent of the 1970s-90s post-modern design, is a revival of the original style. The bold shapes, colours and pop art that were favoured then have now become muted and softer. Materials such as travertine, terrazzo, velvet, boucle and coloured glass and plastics, instantly transport us to these past eras with one goal in mind – to provide comfort and cosiness, all the while making a statement in our interiors.

NOT SO NEUTRAL We are seeing a shift in colour in our interiors, saying goodbye to grey and white neutrals and adding colour in a fresh and exciting way.

Grounded in natures deep earth tones, paired with rich jewel tones, this colour palette will inspire you throughout 2022.

THE YYC INNER-CITY DIFFERENCE

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ There is a lot to love about living in Calgary’s inner-city. The commute to work downtown is much shorter compared to the new suburbs, there are plenty of established amenities ready to be enjoyed, and of course there is the prestige of living in a made-for-you home.

Building new infill homes in the inner-city has become more popular, as more young families rediscover the charms of living in an already established neighbourhood.

Recent City of Calgary’s community profiles reveal that there are more Calgarians under the age of 14 living in inner-city communities. Calgary’s total is at about 19 percent of that age group, but in Altadore it is at 20 percent, in West Hillhurst it is at 17 percent, and in Hillhurst it is at 15 percent. That means more young families are moving to these neighbourhoods, and more are coming in.

22

New Home + Condo Guide | March 4–April 1, 2022

With the demand has come an increase in competition in the market, which has effectively brought some prices down.

NEW VOICE

There is a fledgling group of infill builders in Calgary that have banded together to bring a bigger voice to the industry’s concerns. The Calgary Inner City Builders Association (CICBA) is a non-profit organization that aims to give a bigger voice to infill builders and developers.

They are a relatively new voice founded in fall 2020, but they are working to improve Calgary’s already established communities, promote the benefits of redevelopment, create affordability in the industry and establish credibility and accountability.

Sheldon Appave, principal of Saville Homes, and cofounder of the Calgary Inner City Builders Association

(CICBA), says the group can create affordability in infills by cutting red tape in the processing of applications.

“The City has been constantly changing the bylaws and code requirements for all types of products, especially in the multifamily sector. Fees are becoming increasingly high, and the cost has to be passed onto the consumer.”

Appave says CICBA wants to make a positive difference and promote healthy inner-city development and that members have been heavily involved even before the organization was even formed.

“The city needed a collective voice who specifically represented the inner-city so we stepped up. We are heavily involved with the city and the planning department. We have been included in a number of committees that the city has created with regards to planning. Our goal is to have a direct line to the city with concerns,

Sturgess Architecture

questions, process changes and to represent the small to medium size builders who would otherwise have voices that fall on deaf ears.”

Appave says he is seeing the growth of the industry with increasing membership for CICBA and tighter competition in the inner-city. “We are seeing more builders come in the inner-city market and we want to ensure standards are being met for all home buyers,” he tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide.

APPEALING LIFESTYLE

The infill lifestyle continues to attract a very specific crowd. Darren Polanski, Senior Associate at Sturgess Architecture, says most of their buyers building infill homes are already aware that prices will be higher than building in the suburbs, but they are after a specific way of life that innercity living fulfills.

“Cost of land is the biggest difference between building in the suburbs and the inner-city,” he says.

“You can build something starting at $250 – $300 per square foot in the inner-city. The main factors in cost escalation in the inner-city has to do with land value. But many of our buyers are already aware of this and have it worked in their budget.”

But living closer to Calgary’s core does have an appeal. Polanski says he is seeing more new families move to the inner-city, but downsizers and empty-nesters who no longer want large properties to maintain are also integral to the market.

For many individuals, couples, families, and downsizers, infills present the best of both worlds. Developed communities have more school options, community centers, retail and business centers, parks, and mature trees that most new communities lack. While new communities on the outer edges of the city have longer commute times, with less public transit options, and often, fewer options for urban comforts like meal deliveries and ride sharing services.

Polanski says the development of the Green Line will open up inner-city communities like Ramsey and Ogden to more infill development. The new C-Train service – which incidentally Sturgess Architecture is designing – will bring new connections and accessibility to those older neighbourhoods.

STYLISH LIFESTYLE

Another key appeal in building in the inner-city is the opportunity to build a home suited to one’s own tastes and

style. “Buyers are not limited to the cookie-cutter home designs in the suburbs,” Appave says.

Polanski agrees, saying his outfit doesn’t really follow trends. “We’re more interested in getting to know the buyer first and then designing a home based on their needs.

Although we don’t follow trends, there are some features for smart floorplans that we always follow, like taller windows, accessibility and connection to the outdoors.”

Appave says Saville Homes stays ahead of the competition by building relationships with their buyers and focusing on quality rather than quantity. “By accepting a limited number of custom homes to build for clients, Saville Homes is able to deliver the exceptional level of service our clients have come to expect.”

MULTI-FAMILY OPTIONS

It’s not just single-family homes that are rising in popularity in the innercity, townhomes and condos are readily available as well.

The Row by Saville features modern brick-stone rowhouse architecture, The Row is one of Calgary’s most striking townhome developments - just steps from the

attractions of Marda Loop. Only four residences will be released in this special collection inspired by the storied rowhouses of Brooklyn’s Bensonhurst and Chicago’s Lincoln Park.

Speaking of Brooklyn, Trico Homes – a homebuilder traditionally building in the suburbs – has just released their Brooklyn townhomes in the South Calgary/ Marda Loop area.

Brooklyn is actually a return for Trico to Calgary’s innercity townhome market, having completed Lakeview infills in Fall of 2018. The opportunity to build in a dynamic and vibrant neighbourhood like Marda Loop seemed too good to pass up, says Multi-Family Sales Manager, Carmen De Luca.

“Marda Loop/South Calgary has always been a very desirable place to live because of its centralized location. This is a community that will only continue to appreciate over time, thanks to the (City’s) investment into revitalizing the area, as well as the development of amenities for every need,” she tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide.

“For this reason, it’s a great time to offer townhomes of this size and quality in an area with limited opportunity. Brooklyn allows an inner-city lifestyle without the hustle and bustle of downtown. It’s a very walkable neighbourhood, that’s also close to major roads for convenience.”

Brooklyn gathers 12 threebedroom, modern townhomes crafted into an iconic vintage style that brings new energy and vibrancy to the community’s streetscape. It is an exclusive development with very limited opportunities, designed for the metropolitan lifestyle. Two blocks with six units each are complete and available for quick possessions, offering doubleattached garages, rooftop patios with gorgeous downtown views, all built by Trico Homes with a reputation for design, craftsmanship & customer care. It is recommended to book an appointment to view these homes at tricohomes.com.

TOP COMMUNITIES FOR INNER-CITY INFILLS House hunters who are considering purchasing or building a new infill have many great inner-city communities to consider. Here are our top 5 picks: KILLARNEY-GLENGARRY, SW

A hotspot for trendy restaurants and community gardens, there is a surge of infills in this community. Many young Calgary families have moved in as there are two elementary schools in the neighbourhood and plenty of community playgrounds and recreation centers to enjoy.

ALTADORE, SW

With easy access off Crowchild, Altadore is less than 15 minutes from downtown Calgary, just south of the trendy Marda Loop, and right next to the parks along the Elbow River. It’s a very convenient place to live within Calgary and it’s hard to find a street within the community that doesn’t have a recently completed infill, or one under construction.

WEST HILLHURST, NW

West Hillhurst is very accessible to public transportation, close to Kensington and the river pathway system. West Hillhurst has a very engaged community organization with a long history of fostering community cohesion and development. With several public schools, this community is an easy pick for young families.

CRESCENT HEIGHTS, NW/NE

Crescent Heights is well situated with the downtown core and easy access to the Bow pathway to the south, and a straight route west to the mountains with 16th Ave NE to the north. Plenty of greenspaces, and close access to other hot spots like Bridgeland and Kensington make this a sought-after area.

BRIDGELAND & RENFREW, NE

Bridgeland is very popular due to the proximity to downtown, easy transit access, plenty of trendy shops and proximity to the river. It has been a hot area for redevelopment as one of Calgary’s redevelopment zones.

Renfrew is an up-and-coming area for infill development because it’s close enough to the action in Bridgeland that you could walk over and access all the amenities.

ADVICE | CALGARYISM

ATTACHED & DETACHED INFILLS: 3 CONSIDERATIONS

CODY BATTERSHILL

If you’re looking to buy an infill home, you’ll want to know what the difference is between attached and detached styles. Here are a few important facts regarding these types of infill homes to consider before starting your next inner city property search. #1 – COMMON WALL

The most obvious difference between detached and attached infills is that the latter is typically constructed in pairs that share a wall.

While not common, noise transference can be a concern with a shared wall. Therefore, you’ll want to ask the infill builder what type of common wall construction was used and determine if you and your family are satisfied with the details.

On the other hand, detached infills are built on lots of all shapes and sizes and have no-shared wall with a neighbour, something for you to consider when browsing inner city properties in Calgary. #2 – FLOORPLAN WIDTH

Another important consideration when buying an infill is that the two styles of homes will have different floorplans depending on the size of the lot. For example, attached infills built on a 50-foot-wide lot will have a floorplan with roughly 21 feet of width, while two detached infills built 26

New Home + Condo Guide | March 4–April 1, 2022

on the same lot will have a floorplan with about 17 feet of width.

This all boils down to setback requirements from the property line as per city bylaws, which are in place for a variety of safety reasons.

Not all infill homes are built on 50-foot-wide lots either, something to keep in mind if you’re looking for an even larger home with more space to go around. #3 – TOWNHOMES

Many infill homebuilders are now buying two or more adjacent lots then constructing anything from three up to several attached units.

These types of units could be considered as attached, or in many instances a townhome complex.

With larger projects like these, you’ll want to consider who the builder is (check online reviews), how much the condo fees are (and what they cover), how many garage parking stalls there are (usually just one), and overall privacy.

CALGARY BUILDERS

GO GREEN!

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

Owning a home comes with big responsibilities – one of the biggest being monthly utility bills. With this winter’s bitter cold snap, your upcoming bill might come with a bit of sticker shock. Outright electrocution in some cases.

Even more worrisome is that electricity prices have been going up for some time. According to energy comparison website energyrates.ca, Alberta’s energy prices have increased by 34 per cent between November 2020 and 2021.

Homebuilders have noticed and are taking initiatives to help consumers in the fight against rising energy bills while saving the environment as well. Many have taken up the Built Green program, and some are taking the next level to Net Zero homes.

Built Green Canada is an industry-driven, national, nonprofit organization committed to working with builders interested in responsible sustainability practices in the residential building sector. It uses a certification program that promotes healthy building measures, such as no or low volatile organic compounds, heat recovery ventilators for fresh air and high efficiency features. It also serves to underline the economic and health benefits of building “green.”

This year, Built Green Canada launched its Net Zero Energy+ program for single family new homes, which it calls “a new level of achievement within the organization’s long-held, industry friendly green building program.”

They’ve created a labelling program which provides the industry and consumers with clear and precise technical requirements for two levels of labelling: Net Zero and Net Zero Ready Homes.

The initiative will help in achieving the Government of Canada’s 2030 target to have all provinces and territories adopt a net zero energy ready building code.

Today, there are Canadian builders reaching this target, while many more have a ways to go. In Calgary, Avalon Master Builder and Excel Homes are among those who have embraced the program to give their homeowners an edge in the energy wars.

BUILDING NET ZERO MULTI-FAMILY HOMES

Chris Williams, Vice-President at Avalon Master Builder, says building green homes has been part of their culture for the last two decades. The developer – best known for their line of ZEN townhomes – takes their biggest leap in environmentally sustainable homebuilding yet when they unveil their first mid-density Net Zero townhomes in March In partnership with the Canadian Home Builders’ Association and Natural Resources Canada, Avalon has built one of the first Multi-Unit Residential Buildings (MURBs) qualified under the CHBA Net Zero Home Labelling Program, at ZEN Sequel, in Seton.

“As part of this pilot project, we are one of only six builders across Canada that have come together to raise awareness of affordable Net Zero and apply proven technologies, design and practices to mid-density Net Zero Energy buildings,” he says.

Williams says the project helps advance technology that will help the home building industry to reduce

costs, increase energy-efficiency, performance, and productivity. “The result is an energy-efficient, airtight home with an exceptional living experience for our homeowners. They will save on their utility bills, be protected from energy price increases, and live in a healthier, quieter, more durable and comfortable home.”

Avalon has been preparing for this moment for the last 20 years. “In 2002, when we set off to work towards Building all homes to Net Zero, we really had no idea what we were in for,” Williams tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide.

“Fast forward 20 years, we have built multiple Net Zero demonstration homes, Avalon leadership has attended, lead, and founded multiple industry Net Zero groups, and we have acted as subject matter experts municipally, provincially, federally, and globally. It is not that Net Zero is important to Avalon, it is our passion.”

EQUIPPING NET ZERO HOMES

Avalon’s homes can come with such Net Zero features like a fresh air system (HRV), double-coated triple-pane windows, solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, and LED lighting, not to mention an airtight exterior envelope that locks in the temperature. Cooler in summer, warmer in the winter and unbelievably quiet all the time with the tamping down of outside noise.

The result is an energy-efficient home and exceptional living experience, he adds. “ZEN Net Zero homeowners will save on their utility bills, be protected from energy

price increases, and live in a healthier, safer, more durable and comfortable home.”

Williams says ZEN Net Zero townhomes are third-party EnerGuide™ rated for tighter, draft-free living, better interior air quality and substantial cost reductions.

COST MISCONCEPTION

One of the biggest challenges is surmounting the perception that building energy-efficient homes is more expensive. Although building better-insulated, air-tight homes does come with higher upfront costs, the savings one can get in utility costs down the road will balance it out.

“The upfront cost is three percent more for our Net Zero Ready flats, and 8 percent higher for our three storey Net Zero townhomes. The financing of the increase (on your mortgage) is covered by the utility savings. Further to this, you get 25 percent of your CMHC premium back after you move in, and electrical rate shifting allows you to cover even more in the summer when you are over producing power with your solar panels. All in all, you can make money by building a Net Zero home.”

EXCEL’S GREEN HOMES

Excel Homes has also made environmental sustainability a key feature in their homes, and they are part of the Built Green initiative.

The Marketing Manager at Excel Homes, Kristina Plank, says that since 1988, more than 12,000 Alberta families

Excel Homes’ Newbrook showhome

30 New Home + Condo Guide | March 4–April 1, 2022

have trusted Excel to construct their home, and since 2007, they have delivered more than 3,000+ homes registered as energy-efficient BUILT GREEN® homes.

“One of our company’s key values is Responsibility. We consider the impact of our actions and choices, today and tomorrow, and lead the industry in many areas including safety and sustainability,” Plank says. “We’ve partnered with Built Green to certify the construction of energy-efficient and environmentally responsible homes. Together with Built Green, the result is a healthy, smart home designed for a happy family.”

Excel Homes offers a wide selection of proven floor plans equipped with energy-efficient features, from appliances to insulation. Many of the company’s show homes in the 11 communities they build in are already Built Green Canada certified, and it is clear for visitors to see just how much value it brings to their homes.

Plank says, in fact, all their-single-family homes are Built Green certified. “The cost of using Built Green materials is actually not that much higher – it’s minimal. Besides, the long-term benefits of lower utility bills, helps balance out the incremental increase.” Along with Williams, she believes that the CHBA rebates for building Built Green homes help a long way in getting more homebuyers to partake in the program.

Sustainable gardening Find out what you can do to make the world a better place – beginning in your backyard!

by MARK & BEN CULLEN

W

hether you define yourself as a gardener or not, we hope you find the following suggestions helpful. These are our top four ideas for making your yard, which is an integral part of the community around you, an environmentally better place for all:

ideas

Hang your laundry Every year, Canadians use an average of 100 kilowatt-hours of energy using the clothes dryer. Your clothes dryer uses as much power as 225 lightbulbs.

In total, for all Canadians, this is roughly equivalent to the output of three coal-fired power plants per year.

It’s important to note that you can save up to $250 a year by drying your clothes outside.

Buy a rake This suggestion is a not-so-subtle way of saying that you should not buy a gas-powered leaf blower. And if you have one, ignore it and let it hang in the garage until it rots. Giving it away means that someone else might use it, and that would defeat the purpose. If everyone who uses a leaf blower instead used a fan rake (on the lawn) or a broom (on hard surfaces), imagine how much quieter our neighbourhoods would be. And how much more satisfying yard cleaning could be. There is more

that you can do if you wish to add to the environmental benefits of living in a neighbourhood. You can trade your gas-powered lawnmower for one of the new lightweight, walkbehind, manual reel-type mowers or a rechargeable electric model.

of your outdoor space than any single addition that you can make. And all it takes is a half barrel of water and a few floating water-lettuce or water hyacinths. A ground-level pond is better still, where toads and frogs can play, drink, mate and live.

Add water and don’t stir

Plant natives

Think of your yard as one patch in a patchwork of yards around your neighbourhood. And think of the patchwork of yards as part of a bigger whole that includes public parks, soccer fields and other public greenspaces. Got the snapshot in your mind? Now think of the positive impact you can have on the sustainable bioactivity in your neighbourhood by adding a water feature to your landscape.

Environmentally speaking, still water (versus a waterfall or fountain) provides more benefits to the ecology

As you plan your garden for this upcoming season, be sure to add some native plants to your mix. They are insect and disease free, for the most part, and they attract all kinds of pollinating insects, birds and butterflies. Many perennial flowering plants are very winter-hardy and flower for an extended period each spring and summer. Some of our favourites include bee balm (Monarda spp.), purple coneflower (Echinacea spp.), Canadian ginger (Asarum canadense) and Joe Pye weed (Eupatorium spp.).

Mark Cullen is a Member of the Order of Canada. He reaches more than two million Canadians with his gardening/environment messages every week. Ben Cullen is a professional gardener with a keen interest in food gardening and the environment.
